#ProcterAndAmble by Khaki Tours
On the edge of the island of Bombay, beyond its Native Town, is a small precinct sandwiched between the entertainment district and the Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway. Nestled inside this enclave was a bhel-puri of bungalows and chawls, churches and agiaries, housing societies and Ganpati pandals, student hostels and reformatory schools, film distribution offices and theatres. Cosmopolitan to the core, it was home to Maharashtrians, Gujaratis, Goans and Parsis, who were doctors, actors, writers, businessmen, cricketers and more!
In our brand-new #ProcterAndAmble walk, we explore this little-known area, now rarely visited or mentioned, but which has produced some of the city’s leading lights.
